The bloom comes off the rose....nature is nothing relative to US and Europe, food is great but meaty and high fat and red pepper sauce, kimchi is not for everyone, super materialistic and status is 100% tied to money, highest elderly poverty, highest suicide rates of OECD Countries, work hours are long, vacations 4 days max, uktra skinny white is beauty standard. Absolute hell to get in college, judgmental about looks and behavior, rampant alcoholism.....every society works for the elite and privileged. This is the fantasy dramas and kpop are selling.

Have faith in JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR for HE SAVES from hell❗️ *What is the Gospel?* The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Romans 10:9 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. JESUS CHRIST can come anytime!

It was really great time to understand you African Americans via your own voice. Yes! I was afraid to talk to you guys and to treat you guys because you guys are not familiar to me. But from this video and because of such a long running time I could be familiar with your people and I could see how you live in Korea. Thank you so much! By the way I'm a big fan of your PPT and I'm teaching English in public school, too.

[@taylerwithane]

Thank you so much for your kind words! Also I’m so happy to hear my PPT games have helped you in your English classes 😊

[@darlynsingleton8439]

Yes. They treat us differently simply because we're foreigners, but there's an added layer of being Black. Don't believe it when Koreans say being Black has "nothing to do with it'. That's not true. These ladies are smart/educated, and have developed emotional/social intelligence, which comes from living in the US, a very diverse country. Many of us have traveled all over the world. I enjoyed listening to them talk about their students and how they teach them about the world. 😊 They're blessed to have them. I hope they continue to grow and develop. When it comes to dating, the concensus seems to be Korean men aren't interested in anything meaningful and long term with Black women. I would agree with that, and I recommend a Black woman not give Korea too much of her life, IF she desires marriage and a family, or just a long-term, serious relationship. Thinking you're going to meet your "Minho" in a club, and you're going to start this whirlwind romance, that ends in marriage and life in a high rise overlooking the Han River, with evenings spent drinking Soju and eating fried chicken is setting yourself up for disappointment Koreans have very strong cultural ties, and need their family/friends/community to approve of their romantic relationships. You don't want to be a Korean guy's "social experiment", only to end up falling in love, and him not standing up for you, and caving to the wishes of his family. That happened to a Black KZbinr from the UK. She was crushed. So you really have to be wise, observant - not defensive, but not naive and reckless with your heart, just like with any man. Ask questions. Don't think their attraction to you will make them "risk it all". It will not. "Kelsey The Korean" made a video talking about how Koreans never fully accept foreigners - deep, abiding friendships aren't common. It's very important to find your tribe - other Black people or other foreigners, and try to get your need for fellowship and community met. If you can do that, and you must if you plan to be there any amount of time, it can make all the difference in the world, when it comes to your mental health. Yes, everyone's experience is different, but do your research, because you will find a common thread, particularly when it comes to dating and making deep friendships.. Information is power. It's best to listen to different experiences, so you don't go over there with unrealistic expectations.

I legit loved everything about this video. I feel like crying because I am a single black woman who is currently living in America. What you all assumed about being a blank person in America during the height of Black Lives Matter was absolutely correct. What I felt internally I can’t even begin to explain how traumatic and life changing it was for me personally. Not only do I experience trauma in public but I also had/have it in my own family, being that I am a black woman adopted into an all-white family. I recently made the decision to apply with Epik and will be moving there for this fall semester in August and watching your video made me so happy. The thought of feeling better mentally and enjoying life again made me cry. Thank you for making this video I really needed to hear these things thank you all. You are appreciated!! 🥹🫶🏽🙏🏽

There are so many video about racism and everything black people go thru in Korea and Asia in general, but they are always so full of anger. But you girls are bringing all the issues to the table thus so light and some times with a fun spin. Well done gils!

[@taylerwithane]

Aww thank you so much!! So glad you enjoyed the video 😊

Height also makes a difference in the dating scene. Women over 5’,7” have a harder time in the dating scene than women under 5’7”.

This was such an informative video so interested but scared at the same time to come to Korea from the Americas, well not only because of family it’s because I wouldn’t know anyone and The fact that I’ve never been abroad. However, I have had this itching to live in Korea and this is the most country that I have actually been interested in even if it was just to visit. I’ve already started practicing learning the language and I’m not even there. In other words Thank you for this insightful video. Much love.🌹🌹🌹🥰

[@taylerwithane]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, you are so welcome! And yes I recommend you at least visit to see how you like it, especially if something in you is telling you to go. It was the first country I had ever visited overseas as well before I decided to move here 😊

[@TyVonee]

@@taylerwithane Wow, I never knew that about you. I have definitely been binge watching your videos lately. I believe one of my old trainees that I trained at work watches you and I believe she knows you ( at least that was what was said to me) and have recently left our job to move to Korea. However, I will visit first to see if this is a place I wanna be, I have a feeling it is but I’ll see when I get there haha.

Awesome video, thank you guys for taking the time to film and post. Enjoyed from beginning to end.

Tayler, Courtney and Hunter - this was absolutely wonderful and so worth waiting for, thank you! You all spoke honestly, yet reasonably and with perspective. This is the kind of discussion that makes me want to come to S, Korea to experience it for myself.

[@taylerwithane]

Awww thank you so much 😊💕 and you definitely should!

🙌🏼 so accurate

I hope Hunter finds her person that values her! And Courtney steps back in the game! 🤣

Hahaha same! 😂🤣

[@heavenhaven7254]

I think most Korean discriminate people by behavior and character of person than color of skin. No matter what color of skin if behavior and attitude is bad, they'll discriminate period. As long as foreigners are well behave, respectful, good civil manner i don't think most Korean discrimnate because of color of skin. Color is all; yellow, brown, chocolate, black, white, pink, they're all colors. I don't think most Korean people discriminate you ladies bc black. I think you ladies are intelligent and respectful, just don't take granted, advantage being kind by Korean.

[@ellaw571]

[@ot7stan207]

as a non black person, the only thing I can add is that there are a lot of things that Koreans aren't aware of that may offend you without meaning to. For example, I was teaching and a kid yelled out the N word (not with ER, with A) and I stopped in my lesson. I was about to say something but since Im not fluent in Korena, and these kids have zero understanding about the history of slavery and everything it'll be hard to explain in a single sentence aside from - dont say that. The kid was confused and asked why? I later reached out to the kid 8 years later and with him speaking more english, we had a good discussion. Please don't go to Korea assuming the world studies American history, they do not. Just like how you have no clue bout which general ruled which dynasty or etc in Korea/China, don't assume it's a required knowledge for any other country.

[@hisgloriousgirl]

Thank you Hunter, Courtney and Tayler. I have enjoyed watching your thoughts and experiences living in Korea. I'm so happy that most of your experiences are positive, in fact, more than 90% positive. I came to USA as a 19 year old who had just graduated from high school, born and raised in an East African country, name withheld on purpose. Attended college, graduated, and been working for 18 years now, if college years are added, its been 22 years in all. Before I came to U.S. there are things I was made to study using books, magazines and correspondence by mails. However, a lot of things that I read about America are different from what experiences here. History was 'white washed and twisted. Of all things that I was made to read, there were nothing at all about Black America. I had never had something to do with shootings, racism, police brutality, poverty, wealth inequality,...I have friends that I went to college with and coworkers who are my friends wonderful friends that have been my rock since I got here, in addition to my small family. But if I were to choose-I'd rather have these back where I was born.

In order to date properly, you have to be in full control of your emotions so you can take the risk of getting your feelings hurt❤ in order to date properly. You have to be willing to change your looks.❤ in order to date properly you need to be willing to touch and be touched properly❤ there are ladies who have problems when it comes to being touched properly because they probably were not touched properly in your younger years❤ every man and every woman needs some form of counseling or coaching, so they can be emotionally strong enough to meet and mate successfully in life❤

[@toasturhztoastbunz896]

I'll admit, I was a little hesitant on clicking this video as, far too often, the people in these videos tend to become way too entitled and whiny, or outright hateful at worst, often just start going off about the locals in the area they're in and ranting about their "uneducated bigotry" about them. Honestly, I was fearing this video would've been just that. But I was pleasantly surprised that this video ended up being the opposite. Positive vibes all around. Even when talking about the bad parts, it still remained civil and reasonable. Great video👍. Honestly saddens me that videos like these often get shafted by the overly negative ones mentioned above. Seems like everybody nowadays is too quick to hate things.

New subscriber. It's pleasing to know my country has slowly changed from what you ladies have experienced. S. Korea has based their information through news, TV and movies in the US instead of keeping an open mind and understand ppl are ppl. There's good and bad ppl in all ethnicities and in all countries. Anyways I very much enjoyed this clip.

Thank you for giving us a n insight to all your experiences. I did not have the opportunity to travel like you young ladies, I had children to raise and I have no regrets raising my children and they are all doing well. Watching your video as encouraged me to tell my own children to travel around the world. In terms of dating always remember moral compass which many men fail to have trust me this is world wide.

Funnily enough, the whole 2% thing rings true for me too in California!

I went shopping with a friend of mine and while we were waiting for a subway, an ajumma came out of nowhere and started feeling her hair up. It scared the crap out of her- and me by association, and the granny just said, "Oh sorry! Your hair looked different." My friend said it was fine to both her and I afterward, but it made me feel very irritated.

[@taylerwithane]

Yes, I can definitely relate to that! The experience is so jarring, especially when it comes out of no where and you don’t know how to react.

It's an East and West thing. In India you will find the same thing , people will watch stare peep and look in. It's just that we naturally are engaged in what others do and observant of any thing and everything that is out of the blue. One faces all these issues as an Indian city dweller when I go to an Indian village. The only thing is in India we are not touchy feely easily. Physical contact dosent come easily so we stare galore.
